SOC 2
Get from "customers are asking for SOC 2" to a clean Type I or Type II report, with controls that hold up under audit.
Built For Your Risk Profile
Why SOC 2
For SaaS and technology companies selling into the U.S. market, SOC 2 has become the default proof of security maturity — often the first thing an enterprise buyer's security team asks for before a contract can move forward. Built on the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria, a SOC 2 report is produced by an independent CPA firm and is not a certification you "pass" once; it's an ongoing demonstration that your controls actually operate as designed, evaluated at a point in time (Type I) or over a period, typically 6–12 months (Type II).
Not A Generic Checklist
Why Work With Syntone on SOC 2
Removes the #1 Sales Blocker
For SaaS vendors, a SOC 2 report is frequently the single document that unblocks an enterprise deal stuck in security review.
Scoped to Your Business
You select the Trust Services Criteria (Security is mandatory; Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity and Privacy are optional) that actually match what you sell.
Type I Fast, Type II Durable
Start with a Type I report to show customers controls are designed correctly now, then build toward Type II to prove they operate reliably over time.
Auditor-Tested, Not Self-Graded
Unlike a self-attestation, the report is issued by an independent CPA firm — it carries weight precisely because you don't grade your own homework.
Implementation & Audit Roadmap
How a SOC 2 engagement typically moves from first assessment to a defensible, audit-ready result.
Scope & Trust Services Criteria Selection
Choose which Trust Services Criteria apply to your systems and services, and define the audit boundary.
Readiness (Gap) Assessment
Compare current controls against the selected criteria to identify gaps before an auditor ever sees them.
Control Design & Remediation
Design, document and implement the missing controls — access management, change management, monitoring, vendor risk and more.
Evidence Collection Setup
Establish repeatable evidence collection so controls can be proven operating, not just described, over the observation period.
Type I Audit
An independent CPA firm evaluates whether controls are suitably designed as of a specific point in time.
Observation Period & Type II Audit
Operate the controls over a 6–12 month window, then undergo audit testing that controls operated effectively throughout — producing the Type II report most enterprise buyers ultimately require.
Benefits of Being Compliant
- Shortens Enterprise Sales Cycles. A current SOC 2 report answers most of a security questionnaire before the conversation even starts.
- Standardizes Vendor Trust. One audited report satisfies dozens of customers' due-diligence requirements instead of a custom response per deal.
- Builds Genuinely Operating Controls. Because Type II tests controls over time, the process forces controls that actually work day-to-day, not just on paper.
- Signals Maturity to Investors. A SOC 2 report is increasingly a diligence item for institutional investors and acquirers evaluating SaaS companies.
